This is supervised prescribing. Our DPP pharmacist will supervise your consultations and prescriptions while you practice and hone your skills.

You’ll be expected to attend the clinic in person before your course starts, to plan in all your hours.

Some universities expect students to split their supervised hours over several different DPPs. In this case, you will be expected to find and manage your time with other DPPs on your own.

When you train with us, you won’t just see patients under Pharmacy Clinic Edinburgh, but also Aster (our online weight management service) and Arcadia (our online and in-person prescribing clinic).

You’ll learn to master the art of completing comprehensive consultations both online and in-person across a range of services. Pharmacy and healthcare is evolving in the UK - get ahead of the game as an independent prescriber and learn to provide for patients in a variety of primary care settings.

We’ve spent some time developing an online course that supports your shadowing hours. We’ve collated useful resources and videos too!

You’ll have supportive training on conducting high quality, thorough and sensitive consultations, both for your chosen speciality and for a wide range of other common ailments and prescription types.

You’ll get training, advice and practice with conducting physical examinations, and using equipment such as stethoscopes and otoscopes.

You’ll implement prescribing of appropriate antimicrobials, using frameworks and NICE guidance, and learning how and where to exercise your professional judgement with the use of antibiotics.

All pharmacists will naturally be familiar with the format of a well-written prescription. However, knowing the best layouts of legal requirements, when to include supporting notes, writing clear directions and various other elements that will help you to be the best prescriber you can be.

For many university courses this is a requirement. Get expert advice and supervision when prescribing certain medicines off-license.
